My poor effort at some shots.
The dial changes in different lighting.
It's White, cream, silver and grey.

What's in the "information pack" that isn't available online already?

Probably nothing... but they are still under embargo, what a joke!

Surely UK Boutiques are aware of LVMH Watch Week and all the Novelties? I find it hard to believe they aren't on the same page as the rest of the World.

Maybe they mixed up 1am and 1pm? Nearly all the boutiques in the UK aren't run by LVMH... they are Goldsmiths/Watches of Switzerland, but even so. Bet they feel pretty stupid right now with Instagram going full on panda and they are sitting on their hands.

Mind you, I suppose it doesn't make too much difference to them, they will have a certain allocation - probably 1 per shop or something, they will sell by the end of the day.

Having spoken to a few of them now, I would not be at all surprised if this was the case. 馃榿

The people in the boutiques are very nice - they just haven't been told anything and are not ready for this.

Hmm, that photo shows the Achilees heel. The white hands on the subdials... which the Ice King didn't have. Don't really go with the fake lume on the main hands.

Surprisingly available online here in UK. I thought it'd have already been sold out through reservations. https://www.tagheuer.com/gb/en/time...era/39-mm-calibre-heuer02/CBK221H.FC8317.html
Not available online anymore in the two countries I'm checking and no news from the local boutique. That's a badly organized release in my book...

Puzzled by the choice of a grey sunburst dial - I really need(ed) to see that in the flesh first, before potentially committing...

Yes - and again: That's better seen live before committing to such an amount (IMHO).

Starting to wonder whether the Ice King is not ultimately more cohesive design-wise (although less exclusive)... 馃憥

I do wish it were more of the eggshell white like the original but it is a very handsome execution and I can鈥檛 wait to pick it up!
Exactly my initial thought. But otherwise, well done TH-fantastic!

So who actually has their watch? Mine is hopefully being delivered tomorrow (had the dispatch confirmation).

If we're doing a list of members who own one of these (@Mspeedster ?), perhaps we could also capture country of purchase/residence and limited edition number if that's not too personal? I'd be vaguely interested to see how the watch numbers have been distributed across the globe.

Per @Jemagloh's request, I'll create a list once we have more people who've actually received their watches. I'd rather not jump the gun, until the watch is collected and posted here.

From what I've seen so far, @Anthony.R is the only member who has his watch. @abrod520 should pick his up later today. Then there's a bunch of us who will have them hopefully by tomorrow or end of week at the latest. That should bring us to about 7-8 owners. Then there's another who's having his shipped internationally. Plus a few others who I suspect might get one, but have been MIA from this forum for a while.

The US TH website had it available yesterday when it was officially launched, now showing out of stock. My Boutique says they have very long waiting list. I've heard maybe something like 45 available in the USA, not sure if that's just Boutiques or total including on-line.

An email has just landed in the UK, so maybe that'll see a few more sales, but yes, was still in stock last time I checked. I needn't have stayed up till 1am last night 馃榿
